Slowing down to ~ 50 mph is 97% of it. The rest are not too helpful. Another 2% could be micro managing the accel and regen to be as close to coasting as possible, on average. Except on a downhill, you still don't want to go over ~ 55 mph (b/c the range saved by regen is better than range...

My understanding is that the target for preconditioning is a battery temp of 75F (this is the center, middle line in the battery temp gauge image). The outside air temp is irrelevant. I've noticed that the vehicle may start preconditioning up to about an hour away from a charger, sometimes...

When you rotated yours tires did you notice any newly introduced rumble, wobble, or anything? Any balance required? I'm just curious how these tires wear as I'm coming up on my 7,500 mileage as well. A previous heavy SUV I had (ICE) was impossible to rotate tires because a pattern would be worn...

Interesting. The MYP is well known for its stiff, harsh, sport tuned suspension/wheels. I loved my MYP, but eventually the jarring hits on every little bump exhausted me and especially my passengers. I recently traded in my MYP for the R1S which I consider a much better / softer ride...

I feel like we've now moved from friendly technical advice and discussion to troll world. I'm out. Don't complain when you're car gets lifted and you have to admit to the police and insurance you left your phone in the vehicle. "lol"

@SwampNut and @Ralph , if you leave your bluetooth phone-as-key phone in the vehicle it is a huge risk that the vehicle will detect it, unlock when someone presses on the door handle, and then that person be able to press the brake and put the car into gear. Why would leaving your enabled phone...

Yes I will leave the phone in the car and you have to disable Bluetooth on your phone otherwise someone can enter the car and drive away (obviously). No, the Apple Watch shortcut cannot control Bluetooth function on the phone like you propose, and even if it could that’s not a solution because...

On the Tesla you can lock it and close the door. Admittedly on the Rivian I haven’t figured out how to do that yet. It makes a beep and keeps only the driver’s side door handle open. Rivian needs to allow a user to press lock on the screen and then close the door (or I need to figure it out).

That approach is not sufficient and it’s not because of its slow speed. It’s because it requires both the device and the car to have an internet connection. Many underground parking garages and remote areas do not have cellular service. Your approach works until that one day your vehicle is in...

If you pass on the offer to buy the FS then do you lose your reservation and "spot" in line for when the normal priced models come out?

This is a REAL bummer (if not coming to generation 1) for an "adventure brand" company. Using watch-as-key is highly valued for runners, bikers, hikers, and more (not to mention normal every day activities). I also don't understand why Rivian can't make this work (even if we have to pay for...

In theory, driving more in Stability Reduced (where the rear motor will always being engaged and do more work than the front motor) should result in more even tire wear. I'm also not always a fan of regular tire rotations, especially for big heavy vehicles. Sometimes the negatives with...

I'm not sure "safer" would be accurate because if you look in your binnacle, Traction Control is disabled when Stability is set to Reduced or Off. I think the best analogy might be that turning this on is similar to turning on Track mode in a Tesla. Or any mode in a car that is disabling...

Loving my R1S, Dual Motor, Max, 21". Road tripping beast! I couldn't find the answer to this question when searching the forum. When in All Purpose and Stability set to ON, then the vehicle drives like most are familiar with where the rear motor will disengage above ~ 22mph (assuming no...

I chose Range Rover because that brand is the closest comparable IMO. The spot-on comparison vehicle is the Land Rover Discovery (at least for the R1S). Both are premium, but their ruggedness abilities and interiors keep them from being luxury. The upcoming EV Range Rover will be luxury and...

I agree that if legit, I hope everything is okay with OP and works out for him. Since the OP provided 0 context, there are some valid concerns with these photos. There is fresh unburnt wood in the back right rear corner of that carport. The vehicle appears to be "burned to the ground" but not...

This worked for me too. Also, learned in this thread that I can play TIDAL through Alexa. Good to know.

Non-performance versions do not have Sport Mode. Non-performance ride heights are High, Standard, and Low (plus squat when in Park). When in Auto height mode, the non-Performance will switch to Low at highway speeds. However, the non-Performance has no way to make the rear motor always active...

I found this thread: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/tidal-artwork-not-showing.21921/

I searched for this. I'm on 2024.11.02. Tidal artwork has stopped working. I've tried soft reboot and logging out/in to Tidal. Still not working. It really takes away from the premium aesthetic to have just rows of huge blocks of a low pixel music note all over the screen.
